I'm declaring a moratorium on doorbells in commercials!!
Fargo has this freaky thing.

He cannot handle the sound of the bell, so hops off the couch to bark at the nameless faceless intruder that dares to ring at him.

Then he has to trot back and forth between the living room and the front bedroom until he is satisfied that the noise is no threat.

The Great Pyrenees. Protecting the cookays home from errant dinging noises since 2003!

5. LMAO !!!
Our Jack Russel Terrier does the same thing !!! The Domino's pizza(yuck) commercial REALLY gets him going. There are a few others I can't remember right now. Here he is about to attack the camera, which is how every photo shoot ends !!!!

6. Crunching
Chip commercials are the worst. I have to mute them for their ludicrously loud overdubbed crunching effects. The mere site of the Pringle's guy sends me scrabbling furiously for my remote.

8. mute them
Once you get in the habit of muting that noise pollution, you will never go back.

The Mute Button is the best invention of the past 30+ years.

9. And door knocking.
Anything that even sounds like door knocking. Patsy loses her tiny little mind and starts yapping. It grates on my nerves at times!

10. My dogs go crazy at the Domino's commercial.
I don't even have a doorbell. But somehow they know they're supposed to bark.

11. They do it to our cat, especially Domino's
She's very scared of strangers, so she heads for the hills when she hears it.

17. I'm old enough to remember when there was
common sense NOT to air horns or sirens because it could cause a wreck. And for some feeble reason, I used to think it was by law. :shrug:
